[MCTC Cotton - 3] Late dinner at the Royal Plantation Mansion

[Sir Stig]

The sun was setting when Uncle finally arrived for the dinner party. The vast size of the plantation was a lot to digest, but his stomach had not gotten anything. Colonel Oystridge had made a stew he learned from some natives, and Uncle came in the knack of time to get them while they were still hot.

Huge palms grew all along the shoreline, and here and there through the plantation, all the way up to the mountains. On this part of the plantation it seems they get in the way for the sun, since the cotton plants were still partly in bloom.

Those pesky critters are attacking the crops again. Better sacrifice some of the harvest to save the rest.

Beautiful mansion, Sir Stig! Worthy of a royal property. And you paint a wonderful word picture of An Toli. Colonel Oystridge should be proud!

I also like your burn section of the field. Nicely done.

The burning scene is quite Nice, as is the mansion! Great job

[Elostirion]

Fantastic mansion. You really had a tough task making the mansion look more noble than Capt Wolfs barn, but you definitely nailed it! Great job.

Nice one. I like the mansion building and the guy with the barrels full of water at the charred section the most.

[Captain Braunsfeld]

This is a fine layout with many fine details. I like the mansion, the fire bit, the brook, the cats on the roof ...

Burn those spiders out! Kill them all!

You did a great job portraying a fire scene. Very realistic with the charred remains.

The house portion of the plantation also does not disappoint. The house is reminiscent of many of the great houses of Europe. I like how you depicted the two levels. Great job.
